@ElvyCurious @JennyAThatcher My dad was born in the east-end of London in the 1920s and got taken into the country by some sort of ‘ragged schoolchild’ charity. Those charities have gone but so has the welfare state and full employment - going into the country is impossible for those in poverty.

Here is my new short film about the heritage of Romany Gypsies! It’s about what you can see and what you can’t: the landscape that exists only in the eyes of those with the stories passed down to them. Written, filmed, and composed by me. ✌🏼❤️ https://t.co/kDl3X4itE5
